Default Targa Top storage bag ??

Hi

I was trying to decide if l need a targa top storage bag or not and if so which one to buy!

In our for sale section there is one for $100 shipped with no pic but on Ebay they are between $29.00 to $43.00. The problem is l have no idea what the orig storage bag looks like compared to a copy.

The only reason that l would want one is to leave the top in the back without worrying about hurting it, but again l really don't keep anything back there.

It must be OEM

Where can l see one on the web?

Or if l keep my top in the back does it rattle and can l store it with the storage bag in the back?

Thanks

Alan

When I bought my car I bought all kinds of useless stuff and that was one of them,I never use it unless I'm traveling and need the space for luggage and can't mount the top in the rear cradle. It does protect the top so you can put it in with the luggage and not worry.

I didn't even know they made them. I have never seen one. I think you would have a greater chance of hutring the top trying to get it into the cover then just putting it the back and securing it into place.

I bought one from Ecklers when I first got my C5. I use it to store my extra top in the garage. It is hard to get the top in one by yourself.

I have both tops for mine and store the spare top in the bag. Also, when we go on vacation, I make sure that I have it with me to protect the top from luggage, golf clubs etc. Wouldn't leave home without it.

To the best of my knowledge, there is no factory targa top storage bag. They are all aftermarket. I had one for my solid top when I had my '99. I really only used it to store the second top - I did not bother with it for the top I kept on the car.
